Jasper Raats
"Wine is in my blood - usually literally! I grew up with wine, tasting it with my dad and working amongst my Godfather's vines. My big brother, Bruwer, is also a winemaker and my ancestors were Hugenots from the Loire Valley. Winemaking is more of a hobby than a job to me. I love what I do. The soil, to feel the sun, to freeze your ass off during winter pruning, to smell and taste in the wine the flavours you were hoping for. I would definitely consider myself a 'green' winemaker. I try to be as natural as possible. I am constantly working towards fully sustainable practices and aim to be 100% organic as soon as possible."

Maybe too heavy for some, but I love my wine the richer the better. This one's rich, but if you're into that then you definately get your moneys worth.

I opened this bottle after work one day last week and it slipped down an absolute treat. This wine would be delicious with a big, juicy steak or with strong cheese, but worked pretty well on its own after a ropey day in the office!

Superb wine. Lovely and smooth and still a full bodied wine.

Another fine wine from Jasper Raats but not quite up to Lula. Rich, spicey and full bodied.
